Program: Touring Gardens of Portland, Oregon and Beyond
Our own Thea McGinnis will introduce us to several unique gardens in Portland, Oregon and the Oregon coastline that highlight the flora of the northwestern United States. Thea has travelled extensively locally and abroad, visiting gardens and their surroundings in the process. We have been fortunate recipients of past presentations by Thea where she shares both the flora and local history of the areas she has visited, and we are certainly in for another treat!

September Program: Creating a Wreath
Longtime club member, Sheila Moore, will demonstrate for us the art of wreathmaking for any occasion. Sheila brings years of professional experience as a floral design business owner, and wreaths are one of her passions. We know her work, with her wreaths selling like hotcakes at our annual Harvest Fundraiser. And you too will be able to create wreaths using, as she does, items procured from your own home. As an added benefit, you can shop at the Ways and Means table to obtain supplies for your wreaths.
